Accessible? you can buy scanners from cheap to expensive everywhere, 3d printers can be bought everywhere for cheap incl. materials. you just need to put your time and or efford in it... yes molding might be done by someone else, sometimes its cheaper to let someone else do it than investing yourself in it. but everything can be done.
Don't be confused. This is not simple or cheap. That 3d scanner he used is $30k. Who knows how much having multiple designers submitting 3d model designs would cost...this is not something you could get on fiver. I have been working in CAD for 20 years, it is not simple. That 3d printer is $16k.... Then it is ran for days to print all the parts of that huge bumper. probably a couple hundred $ in filament alone. Then the time to assemble the 3d print, gluing it all together symmetrically while making sure it still fits the car correctly. Sanding and smoothing the print to get it ready for the mold making. Who knows how much it would cost to have a custom fiberglass mold made. Then the cost of painting it. Yes you can do all this yourself. But this is deep into the manufacturing world with tons of experience and expensive tools divided between all these trades. This is how a business would do it knowing that they would be selling multiple bumpers. For a first time DIY it is not happening, 100% fail at one or every single step in this process. Trust me I have done it many times. But if you want to get into this, keep trying, you will learn from those failures....or hopefully you have some deep pockets and can pay others to do it for you...and remain ignorant. I am actually in the process of 3d modeling my bumper in fusion 360, only needing to print the top portion 54"x9". Might be close to $1000 to have a professional company like Xometry print out of ASA. I had a $700 Creality CR10 S5 3d printer I bought 4 years ago, terrible at printing ABS / ASA. No you do not want a cheapo 3d printer like that to do this. It needs to be enclosed to print ABS so the large print does not cool at different temperatures and warp and pop off the bed. Cheap printers only work with PLA which is terrible for most car parts. PLA has a glass transition temperature of 130 degrees F. Being in the sun things get too hot and your print will turn into a floppy noodle. Or you can make a carbon fiber PLA carbon fiber sandwich like the guys who is 3d printing the Lamborghini is doing. A modern least expensive printer that could get ABS / ASA done is a Bambu Lab but it has a 10" cube build size. Xometry uses $150,000 Stratasys Fortus machines for FDM 3d printing that have a 24" x36" x36" build volume...at least that is the info I could find.
Really nice job, my best friend had 2 sti back in 2003 same colour, he loved that car, he sadly passed this year, he would have loved to see what you did here, amazing great work from both of you.
Many many thanks for this and the previous video showing the scanning process. Definitely following now. Thanks for sharing the knowledge and sharing your passions.
Great video guys! Super informative , I love that you brought us along for the entire process. Definitely would love to see more content like this in the future!!
I would REALLY like to see very detailled info about the cutting you did in Cura and the 3D printing of bumpers or other large automotive interior and exterior parts.
Very nice work. I just started playing with 3D printing on a very small scale with a Prusa MK3S+ desktop. This is such a a great technology and will keep older cars on the road. Not to mention the options for customization and imagination.
Great breakdown, I was gonna do a process video for how I 3d print my parts but now I can just link people to this video :) Was thinking about upgrading to a modix for aero parts and this really helped show how well it can work for large parts.
Very nice! I remember years ago I wanted to get into the automotive scene doing the same thing. Your video rekindled that fire that I have for automotive design and rapid prototyping!! I still redesign cars so why not bring them to life?!
Hi there. What Wax or PVA did you use to have a so easy demould process? Seems very smooth to demould it. Or is it because or the multiple piece mould construction?
Awesome video covering the process from tip to tail. It's a lot of hard work, but the results are quite rewarding. Do you have any future plans to show how you use Blender as part of your reverse engineering CAD workflow? Thanks for sharing! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for mentioning this. I see alot of people in the comments who think they are going to drop $150 on a printer and just whip one of these out over a weekend.
idk how well you know of sn95 new edge mustangs but I've been trying to find someone that can print the rear quarter panels because they rust out, maybe you guys can take a look at something like that?
I have had a delta printer for a long time. I just ordered a scanner and new printer, 17" x 17" x 17". I'm working on a RGBW cluster and dash light conversion and dash re-layout that is begging for some scanning action. Hoping I don't need a new computer though.
amazing video.....such a cool thing that we can now vision a change to our car and just make it happen instead of being at the merci of what ever the companies like. Too bad the color didn't match.
I am planning to create my own bumper, similar to yours I dont like my stock bumper and I cant seem to find one on the market since the car is a 2010 mazda.
Very cool! My only feedback is that for the final reveal, the part we've all been waiting for, it's obscured by the channel logo and large thumbnails for video recommendations. May want to rethink that bit.
I’m in the same boat. I have an 05 and the ZeroSports is really the only one I like. Is this going to eventually be available to others either to buy or? This would be a lot better of an options than waiting for one of the less than a handful to come up for sale.
You would make a lot of money if you 3d printed those extension rubber bumpers some of those old classic land yachts had. I forgot the the terminology to give you the proper name for them but I hear they're a nightmare & expensive to replace.
maybe there's some way to remove these from the screen, but at 21:36 youtube puts up two video thumbnails that basically cover the car right at the point where you are showing what it looks like.
I have thought about making some one-off parts for my car and have wondered if I could just 3d print them out of ASA and paint them? I know you are making multiple copies of the bumper, so it makes sense for you to make a mold and do it in fiberglass. But for a one-off part, is 3d printed ASA good enough? Also curious about the weight the difference between the ASA and fiberglass on something that size - is the fiberglass significantly lighter?
Its 10 to 100x more expensive to take the 3d printed part, do a glass negative mold, then another glass mold, finish, paint etc. Wait till car folks figure out you can just add CF reenforcement to a 3d print, bondo, paint it, and there you go.
This is super impressive, but I can't help but wonder why you didn't just re-mount the intercooler like 1-2 inches lower. It looks like the piping would've tucked below the inner lip of the bumper, and you wouldn't have a weird little gap at the bottom of the IC anymore... I guess just flexing I suppose. 😁
Just wow! If this stuff was accessible to everyone, the car scene would get 10x more cooler and varied. Love the final result!
That’s one of our long-term goals! Certain project files will be available to the public in the near future
Well everything is available, you just need toput the time and money for it.

Dude you can do this using your camera and a $150 3D printer. It may take some more measuring and elbow grease, but totally doable.
20 minutes of making it and 2 sec of showing the result....
Lol that 3D scanner is worth more than the whole car.

Ohh! This might become interesting for a future project! * Pulls out $30.000 Artec Eva scanner * never mind!
you can do it with a 800 scanner xd
@@dlain200good luck with that

Many many thanks for this and the previous video showing the scanning process. Definitely following now. Thanks for sharing the knowledge and sharing your passions.
Thanks for showing the process! I love how additive manufacturing keeps growing! That bumper looks amazing!!!
Great video guys! Super informative , I love that you brought us along for the entire process. Definitely would love to see more content like this in the future!!
Thank you! Would love to get more technical in the future too!
this is the exact stuff Im studying design for, definitely keen to see a video going over the printing stuff!
I would REALLY like to see very detailled info about the cutting you did in Cura and the 3D printing of bumpers or other large automotive interior and exterior parts.
Very nice work. I just started playing with 3D printing on a very small scale with a Prusa MK3S+ desktop. This is such a a great technology and will keep older cars on the road. Not to mention the options for customization and imagination.
Came out perfect, so interesting to watch the whole process including cad revisions all the way to printing and molding
Great result. I appreciate the way you gave a brief on all the steps that went into it. New sub.
Great breakdown, I was gonna do a process video for how I 3d print my parts but now I can just link people to this video :) Was thinking about upgrading to a modix for aero parts and this really helped show how well it can work for large parts.
Fantastic work! Please do more videos. Wish I could work with you guys, I love this stuff!
Incredible! This needs more exposure
There is so much insane skill in this video! I love every step of this
This is awesome. This opens up a whole new world of car customization.
My only nitpick, that's not a bumper, that's a front fascia. 😉
Awesome video! Just watched the whole thing 👍 sick to see it from start to finish
Nice thanks for sharing. Really liked the whole process
This is insane. Awesome
This is so sick. I need this done to a EF9 front bumper even though it would probably cost way more than an oem bumper
Excellent video mate! Thanks for sharing.
Amazing video. Love that it's all kept local in California to accomplish this.
Would love for this to be more accessible to the general market.
We plan on doing more motorsport stuff, so turnaround time is a MUST!
That is one heck of a job man well done looks lovely!
Amazing job. Kudos.
Craftsmanship from start to finish. Great job all!
I feel itchy just watching him work with fiberglass. I sure don’t miss those days. 😂
I been thinking about doing this, you already done it hell yeah! I'd have to do it in tiny segments though like 25cmx25cm patches
Thank you very much for this vid. It's really helping me.
thank you for making this! im so stealing this to make a vertex body kit for the s2000.
Very nice! I remember years ago I wanted to get into the automotive scene doing the same thing. Your video rekindled that fire that I have for automotive design and rapid prototyping!! I still redesign cars so why not bring them to life?!

Nicely done!
Awsome! What is the scanner and printer please?
Hi great work .where can I purchase the 3d printer like the one you using
Did you have to make a fiberglass mold or could you use the abs plastic bumper that came out of the 3d printer as is?
Looks sick!
Excluding cost of the 3d printed bumper and paint, how much did this run you
What scanner are you using and what would be the cost for entry?
thanks for the video, wondering if the new bumper is a brand new design from scratch or based on the scan -> mesh-> edit the mesh from blender?
LOL i love the backwards shirt when you pick up the painted bumper
That's a monster of a printer. I would have to do at least 12, probably more like 16 pieces.
Cool stuff
Thank you for mentioning this. I see alot of people in the comments who think they are going to drop $150 on a printer and just whip one of these out over a weekend.

what scanner did u use? i want to make bodykit for citroen c5 and tbh idk what to do first
0:26 got your doug demuro impression on point
im curious about the IS300 at 8:55
amazing video.....such a cool thing that we can now vision a change to our car and just make it happen instead of being at the merci of what ever the companies like. Too bad the color didn't match.
Cool use of 3d printing. How thick is the wall you are printing?
Nice result.
14:03 That dust mask isn't gonna help with solvent fumes.
Crazy. Ima start saving lol
I crshed my widebody w208 and wish I could just print a new bumper and left fender flare 😢
Can you 3d print some stuff off my 2g dsm eclipse if I send to you?
Nice work! How did this end up costing you at the end?
I am planning to create my own bumper, similar to yours I dont like my stock bumper and I cant seem to find one on the market since the car is a 2010 mazda.
Could you give us a format version to do it ourselves that will be sweet 😋
What 3D printer do you use?
Very cool! My only feedback is that for the final reveal, the part we've all been waiting for, it's obscured by the channel logo and large thumbnails for video recommendations. May want to rethink that bit.
Thanks for the tips!
Hi. What program for knife do you use? Thank you
What type of 3d scanner do guys use?
I need a new bumper that's 3d printed
where can I buy one?
What kind of 3d printer do You have?
I’m in the same boat. I have an 05 and the ZeroSports is really the only one I like. Is this going to eventually be available to others either to buy or?
This would be a lot better of an options than waiting for one of the less than a handful to come up for sale.
Already available on our website!
Curious about your printer.
Dope build. Love the bumper. I need one of those scanner things.
Love the video
Also..
I feel like you been on Bob's Burgers before...idky
Please make a video how to model things on 3d scanned stuff.
What 3d printer was that?? I need to know.
You would make a lot of money if you 3d printed those extension rubber bumpers some of those old classic land yachts had. I forgot the the terminology to give you the proper name for them but I hear they're a nightmare & expensive to replace.
wait how many MODIX printers do you have? 120X's?? or 180xs?
Wow this dude really knows how to paint
Is it possible to make dash pads and interior part for American cars from the 80's
yup!
Need to do classic jdm
Someone needs to do this with teh SE Lip kit for the S12 200sx chassis.
Amazing work! But please do something about your desk mic, the volume peaks and the clipping hurt
Hi sir can you help me design a car part for 3d printing
maybe there's some way to remove these from the screen, but at 21:36 youtube puts up two video thumbnails that basically cover the car right at the point where you are showing what it looks like.
What printer did you use

Also curious about the weight the difference between the ASA and fiberglass on something that size - is the fiberglass significantly lighter?
Im almost certain fiberglass is going to be stronger. Plus its less brittle as well
@@alientiger21 ASA is Not very brittle at all.
What’s the printer model used ? I couldn’t understand the name :/
Loved the video. Guy seems very quirky lol even had his shirt on backwards when he picked up painted bumper 😂
what did you say at the start of the video?
What will this cost approximately? Is it cheaper then buying a bumper?
what 3d printer you use
Why make it fiberglass in the end ? Isn't plastic a lot more resistant ?
Hi, why didn't you paint and install initial 3D-printed part itself?..
Can you adjust a size and print a part for me?
Could it have worked if you flip the intercooler 180 degrees so that the pipes are on top
usually headlights or rad support are in the way of pipes if you flip the intercooler
Its 10 to 100x more expensive to take the 3d printed part, do a glass negative mold, then another glass mold, finish, paint etc. Wait till car folks figure out you can just add CF reenforcement to a 3d print, bondo, paint it, and there you go.
Awesome video. I saw that you went to pick up the painted bumper with your shirt was backwards. So I decided to like and subscribe.😂
Fake it till we make it 😂 good eye LOL
I don't know what this channel is all about but this video got me to subcribe. Haha,
3d printing should be the future of the auto scene
Im motivated now 😅
How do you 3d print something you don't have
I was curious how much more expensive is this process than buying a new OEM bumper
This is super impressive, but I can't help but wonder why you didn't just re-mount the intercooler like 1-2 inches lower. It looks like the piping would've tucked below the inner lip of the bumper, and you wouldn't have a weird little gap at the bottom of the IC anymore... I guess just flexing I suppose. 😁
Did it warp in the Sun?
Even though the bumper looks darker, the car is still sick
Nice Artec Leo 3d Scanner
It would be a dream to have one
Doesn't a printed new bumper need any certification of approval to be used on a car in public roads, like all other factory car body parts?
